How can I repair my couch arm chair

Purchase or borrow an upholstery needle and thread, repair the best you can, add arm covers or towels to cover the arm.

Pull out some of this stuffing because you're going to need the extra fabric. Get some upholstery thread that match the fabric and sew in the direction of the existing threads.

thank you for your response

Hi, search you tube for how to make arm covers for a chair by upholstery course. He shows how to make a template, I made some for my sofa and chair and I have very little sewing knowledge.

You might also be able to find a suitable scrap of upholstery fabric and make large patches to cover this arm and the other (just so they match) using upholstery thread and a curved needle.

Ok. Everyone is all about you sewing fabric over the arms. Where do you get matching fabric? It looks like you are floating your furniture, but here goes -- From the back of the sofa. Buy a piece of home dec fabric that is close to or coordinating with you sofa fabric, my suggestion would be to go a little darker so it doesn't stand out. Get enough to cover the entire back of the sofa. Then cut the existing fabric off the back and staple the new piece on. That should give you plenty of fabric to cover the puppy chew spots on the front. A curved needle will be useful as you stitch your patches into place.

Wow it looks like it was a victim of a slasher film. I think the idea of sewing it up the best you can and covering it with something else and of course, Cover the other arm in the same material

V Smith has a good idea, but you would cover the whole top of both arms of the chair (after sewing up the ripped bit as best you could). I was thinking a matching suede or leather. If you are planning on getting a new couch I would go to a fabric store and find a matching heavy fabric and make 2 squares/rectangles out of it.

Measure from inside cushion bed (where the seat cushions sit) up the inside arm and around the top of the rolled arm. Measure from seat back to front edge of arm. This is the width and lengths needed. Allow for hemming fabric edges. Top stitch hem. Pin onto sofa starting at the under edge of the rolled arm, over the arm and down the inside. Using an upholstery needle and upholstery thread, sew this patch onto sofa.

Hello everybody.

I have a question, my couch has fallen or should I say, sunk down in the middle . I don't know what to do with it . I don't want to throw it away. It is a brand new couch. Italian leathe, a friend used it, as a bed, for one year. Please somebody help me.

Use Duct tape. get matching color if possible then cover with Kevlar arm covers!

Jeanne, Great solution. Genius!!!!!

I would try and sew up the holes as best as possible. Then get a placemat in a coordinating color and sew it on top like a patch. Do both arms so they match. Hope the puppy is cute!

I think your going to have to take that chair to an apolstery shop

You need to crate your puppy when your not home or not supervising it. This a safe place for the puppy especially if its experiencing seperation anxiety. Give the puppy a chew toy to knaw on. its also the best way to housebreak your puppy. When I was a dog trainer, I could housebreak a puppy in 3 days using a crate.

STUFF IT & SEW IT -THAN USE OBLONG LACE DOLLIES ON EACH ARM & TOP OF CHAIR KEEPS THE HAIR DYE & OIL FROM HANDS & SO EASY TO WASH & PUT BACK -ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO SEW GOOD LUCK
